Ants

Where do the ants go?
 Empty halls to fill, you know
 Small and obscure, wander the world
 Where did my ants go?
 Truth be told
 A million faces say, "Hi"
 Stray car go by
 Carryin' fish plates on first dates
 Finger waves, and hard hairstyles
 Callin' in conversations
 Pop, lockin', and droppin'
 High school sweetheart at the gas station
 Wonder who he's dating now
 If he's married now (truth be told)
 If he's busy thinkin' "what was," like I am now
 Should I ask him how he doin'?
 "If you're goin' to the second line"
 Fuck it, I'm late for rehearsal now
 Fuck it, I'm late for rehearsal now
 Erykah told me, "I'll see you in the next lifetime"

 Double Dutch and free lunch
 Mean hoes and sweet ones
 Niggas that like me, dudes that dodge me
 Girls wanna fight me 'cause
 Like Kimmy, I'm talkin' pretty
 Confident an' saddity like Willie
 Yet, down to Earth like Freddy
 Down to ride, no Bentley
 At home, it was Kool-Aid packs and Disney
 Lizzie McGuire and One Saturday Morning on the weekends
 Never had a pair of Jordans
 Don't want none (you know it)
 My jump shot don't need sneakers more costly
 Than I can afford 'em (yeah)
 Rice Krispie Treats and noodles
 Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin
 'Cause sometimes, 'cause sometimes
 I need more space than thoughts can give me
 More sky than God provides me
 And TV, so I won't get lonely (lonely)
 Where do the ants go?
 Why do they run away? Ooh, yeah
 Leave me alone now
 Why can't I make you stay?
 I got a JanSport book sack
 A girl that be talkin' 'bout me in third period
 Oh, well (oh, well)
 The beat was still made for me
 Reruns of Martin, waitin' on me
 More cake for me, cake for me
 Amy scare me, Ashley make me jealous
 And Cheryl Lynn, my best friend (oh)
 Brian, my boyfriend
 Gay as his father
 But his love letters be sweeter
 Than Sno Balls in the east and Freezy Street
 All wrapped in one love letter
 And a warm sweater in December
 I'm better, I'm better
 I became whatever (whatever)
 Where do the ants go?
 Why do they run away? (Run, run, run away now)
 Leave me alone now
 Why can't I make you stay? (It's just the colors)
 I'm prettier than Sunday
 On Mondays, I be trippin' (trippin')
 My mama want me to wash the dishes
 While she make my brother lazy and distant
 Fuck it, I'm movin' at 18
 Fast-forward, ten years later, it's the same routine
 And I'm complaining, catching bucks
 Mood change like it's a new thing (ah-ha)
 I want everything on anything
 Thrift clothes in the basket on a Hummer truck
 Man, my life funny as fuck, like Bruce with a cut
 Just my luck, I'd end up famous and blunt
 Rollin' a blunt, turned down while everyone is busy turnin' up
 Can you turn my music up?
 Hey, turn my music up
 Where do the ants go? (I wonder, I wonder)
 Why do they run away?
 Leave me alone now (I know)
 Why can't I make you stay? (It's just the color)
 Where do the ants go? (Down)
 Why do they run away? (Run away)
 Leave me alone
 Why can't I make you stay?

 I saw you throw a universe once
 That wasn't the type of shit you see every day
 (I understand that there is, 'nough now)
